Backstory:

Story of my uncle who was a father to me when I needed one                                                                                                                          

Lyrics:

                                                  
[Verse 1]
Every boy Needs a father
One way or another
Catching dreams and fish out on the water
My Uncle Joe
That was my mother's brother
He smelled of cigarettes and aftershave
Motor oil and fresh cut hay
And all the fields we worked together
Did two tours overseas
When he got home he made time for me
He was kind to me, his philosophy
A masterpiece, the way it ought to be
Didn't know then that his legacy
Would be the last thing that he gave to me
It rang true to me, the way it's got to be
Simple truths that stuck with me

[Chorus]
Find a good woman and love her
And keep your words sweet and tender
Some advice you'll remember
There's only two kinds of music in this world
And boy you count yourself lucky if you learn
A little country
And western
A country and western

[Verse 2]
Now every girl Needs a father
Years later I’d discover
Catching dreams and fish out on the water
With Carrie Jo
She's my girlfriend's daughter
On that fishin boat we'd spend the day
Summer sun, ocean spray
And all those bays we worked together
Didn't my tour overseas
When I got home they ran straight to me
It was time for me, this philosophy
A masterpiece, the way it ought to be
Didn't know then that this legacy
Would be the only thing that made sense to me
It rang true to me, the way it's got to be
Simple truths that stuck with me

[Chorus]
Find a good woman and love her
And keep your words sweet and tender
Some advice you'll remember
There's only two kinds of music in this world
And boy you count yourself lucky if you learn
A little country and western
Country and western
A little country and western
Country and western
